Are there any plans for implenting a libnss_samba library to provide name resolution for programs linked against libc (e.g. "ping mywinshost")? Is this even possible? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Free email you can access from anywhere! mail.yahoo.com

Its referred to as winbindd (includes a daemon, pam and nss moddule). Current support is limited to passwd and groups though. No hosts service implemented (yet).
